Breast cancer knows no boundary be it age, gender, socio-economic status, or geographical location. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. The key to survival is early detection.

Be Aware --- Take Action

Make these changes part of your life. You are the cure.

1. Annual mammography beginning at age 40
2. Clinical breast exams at least every three years beginning at age 20 and annually at age 40
3. Monthly breast self-examinations for all women beginning at age 20

Become a Volunteer and Become a Part of the Cure!

Led by more than 100,000 survivors and activists, Komen is the world's largest and most progressive grassroots network fighting to end breast cancer forever.

As the face and voice of the global breast cancer movement...

We are local activists in 125 cities and communities, mobilizing more that one million friends and neighbors every year through events like the Komen Race for the Cure Series - the world's largest and most successful awareness and fundraising event for breast cancer.

We are advocates at the local, state and federal level, fighting for the screening and treatment programs that save lives and the research that brings us closer to the Cure.

We are global citizens working with local health groups around the world and through our website, komen.org, to help missions of women in nearly 200 countries overcome the social, cultural and economic barrier to breast health and treatment.

The WNY affiliate credits its success to the many outstanding volunteers who share their energy, ideas, and enthusiasm each year. Whether you are looking for a year-round commitment, a committee position or a one-time event, the WNY Affiliate has a place for you.
